Promotion 'a day I'll never forget' - Cullen

Burnley midfielder Josh Cullen says winning promotion to the Premier League is an "absolutely amazing" feeling and a day he will "never forget".

The 29-year-old has only missed two Championship games this season, making 42 appearances at the heart of the Clarets' midfield, including in the 2-1 win over Sheffield United on Monday to secure a return to the top flight.

"To do it with such a special group of people, not only the lads and the team-mates but the staff and everyone around the club, [I'm] just over the moon," Cullen told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We always had that belief and I think, although we've played it down all season, when you looked at the fixture schedule, you thought this game could be a massive one.

"Obviously it turned out to be a defining one for us to get over the line. I think the run we've been on, the belief we have in ourselves, we always believed we can win games and we've got enough to score goals and defend when we have to defend."

Cullen praised the atmosphere at Turf Moor and thanked the fans who have "pushed us on all year".

"They've been magnificent this year and backed us the whole way. Happy to reward them and get the club back where it belongs," he said.

The Ireland international was in the squad when Burnley were relegated from the Premier League in 2023-24 and said it made this promotion "especially" satisfying.

"It's obviously been a lot tighter this year with three - four teams with Sunderland prior - going for the two automatic spots," Cullen added.

"We've had to be right on our game and it's probably a little bit extra this time having experienced the pain of relegation last year.

"We'll enjoy this moment, that's for sure."
